Bug Description

Binary package hint: jhbuild

The current version of jhbuild is 0.0.svn.r1378-1 in hardy, intrepid, jaunty and karmic. The latest revision in SVN is revision 2802, and that was four months ago. GNOME doesn't even use SVN anymore.

It breaks builds such as gtk-doc.

There's no "install-check" binary installed in /usr/bin (which is required, at least by clutter[1]). So I concur, an upgrade is in order to skip issues with other jhbuild-built packages.

To the archive administrators: this snapshot is really old and is getting installed by many people curious in GNOME Shell; could it be removed from the archive for the time being?

This snapshot is really pretty outdated and not useable.
At this time of the development cycle I'm afraid that we have to remove it.

Confirming from motu-release to remove it source and binary. It has no rdepends and is worse than nothing at this point. Don't blacklist it from future syncs. We'll want it in Lucide.

Surely at least a ppa with a more up to date build should be provided?
